Advanced E-health Service at SOMA PT ($9.99/month)

With the increasing trend for more online and on-demand access in all areas of life, it seems only fitting that personalized healthcare follow suit. Almost 6 years ago, Dr. Barnes set out to solve a problem. The problem was there were roughly 167 hours of the week his patients were not in front of him receiving his care and guidance. They were on their own attempting to replicate their exercises and remember the instructions on what to do while at home to get better- it wasn’t working. He called his good friend Jonathan who was in software and asked, “couldn’t we create something on the web were patients could access their treatment plans including videos and instructions right from their computer. The answer was yes, and they created Tx Xchange web-based software -simple, easy to use, and effective. 

What does Tx Xchange provide?

• A personalized patient portal
• An electronic health record with all your treatment data
• Video conferencing and messaging communication with your therapist
• Video tutorials of all your exercises and treatments
• Health articles about your condition
• Multi-provider collaboration about your care
• Important clinical notifications and reminders to your message center and your personal email
• Upload and sharing capability of your x-rays/MRI/lab results
• Outcomes and progress tracking 
• Activity and functional goal setting
• Wellness store for your supplements and therapy supplies

Starting February 1st, we are launched an advanced E-health service through Tx Xchange, our online patient portal. This advanced online service will provide you with greater access to your therapists and their expert guidance, new health information and treatment tutorials, and ultimately better and faster results for less money.  For those patients currently using our patient portal, you will see faster response times, additional tutorials and health information and more integration of the portal into the therapeutic programs we offer.

The most important advantage of our E-Health Service is better outcomes regarding your healthcare goals. We know, for those individuals who take a more active and participatory role in their healthcare to achieve results on a faster trajectory. With more access to your PT and more participation from you the treatment success is optimized. 

Our success at SOMA PT using the Tx Xchange online patient portal has been tested and it WORKS. SOMA PT has had almost 3,000 patients use the patient portal as an integral part of their care. In two recent case studies we found patients get better faster for less money spent on care and they really enjoy using the patient portal as an important part of their care:

Cost-containment 
o 21% reduction in visits per episode (vs. United Healthcare network average)

Better Functional Outcomes in Less Time (2 weeks comp. to 4 weeks)
o 50.7% improvement in functional status (compared to only a 23% improvement with traditional office-based PT care alone)
 
Patient Satisfaction with Telehealth 
o 75% of patients reported higher satisfaction with their SOMA PT experience when participating in care using their patient portal

This E-Health Service is designed with patient success in mind and allows enhanced communication, especially between patient appointments. Another feature of our service, especially if you are unable to physically be in the office, is the ability to have secure online video teleconferencing – an effective and valuable way to get questions answered at a lower price and more convenient than an office visit.

Access to your personalized E-Health Service will be offered as a monthly subscription program for a small fee ($9.95). Following your rehab care, you will have ongoing access to health and diet information, fitness training, Pilates, and advanced yoga tutorials through your patient portal. We are confident that you will find it extremely effective and rewarding as an additional supplement to your healthcare.
